r/St_Broseph

My gf and I are from Mumbai, I’m dating her for a year now and we are pretty serious. She told me about her ex who she dated in school, now she is 25. she broke up with him because he was violent. He is used to harass her by contacting her or passing comments when ever she crossed by as they live in the same neighbourhood. so her parents have put a stay order on him 7 - 8 years ago. He is still the same. She told me he has been arrested multiple times for different reasons. So she told me recently he called her again from anonymous no and asked her about me and told her to meet him. She has lives in fear whenever we are in her area and she gets super nervous when she sees him. Years back, he did called her from their common friend no and asked her to meet her in a building next to her. When she showed up, her ex was there and dragged her inside the building parking lot and warned her what will happen if she doesn’t respond to her. It’s been years but he keeps showing up time and time again. By calling her or texting her or following her around the area. I don’t want her live in fear in her own area, in her own city. What can I do here. I have always tried to support her, make her feel better. Please help.

@u/stbroseph please help

I'm a 30yo guy who is frustrated of an institution with political ties and muscle harassing my family's right to freedom and daily living. It's slowly resulted in me getting strong suicidal thoughts sometimes. Moreover I used to be so happy, cool and just normal but now I have lost half my muscular weight due to stress, trauma and developing neurological issues.

I'm mostly scared due to political ties and also them gathering the neighborhood against me and my family one by one by using manipulative steps and processes.

Can I and should I seek help from /r/St_broseph and what would I expect to give in return financially or otherwise?

Hi u/StBroseph and team,

I’m a regular citizen, and for the last five months (since March), I have been running a relentless campaign against a massive illegal liquor operation in Sunkadakatte. I have fought this through every official government channel, but I have hit a wall of corruption that is now putting my personal safety at risk. I desperately need you to step in as a proxy.

Here is the exact situation and the paper trail I have built:

The establishment, Jai Maruthi Wines, holds a CL-2 license (retail takeaway of sealed bottles only). However, they are completely violating the law: they have built a proper seating area in the back, they allow and serve customers to sit and drink on the premises, they sell loose liquor, and they create a massive daily public nuisance for commuters.

I refused to ignore it. I sent dozens of emails with clear video proof to the Chief Secretary, BBMP, Police, and Excise. After dodging me for months, the Peenya Excise Department finally did an inspection. They admitted in their official report that the bar provides a space to sit and sells loose liquor, but they refused to close it because "it's not in the approved blueprint." (They literally used its illegality as an excuse to let it run).

Through sheer persistence, I forced them to put a physical Government Seal on the illegal backroom last week. I thought the system finally worked.

I was wrong. Within just one week, the bar owner somehow managed to illegally break the seal or maybe did some adjustments I am not sure. The gates are thrown wide open, and they are fully operational again today, serving people on the premises like nothing happened. The local Kamakshipalya police and Peenya Excise are actively ignoring a broken government seal because they are deeply compromised.

I escalated this to the Lokayukta, but here is my roadblock: They have officially emailed me saying they will close the case unless I submit Form 1 and Form 2 (sworn legal affidavits).

I cannot reveal my identity. If this rowdy owner can make a government seal disappear in a week with zero consequences, these corrupt local officials will hand my real name and address to him on a silver platter.

u/StBroseph, I have the entire unredacted dossier—DC Orders, Excise Endorsements admitting guilt, and fresh video proof of it operating after the broken seal and illegal sit-down operations.

Can your team please act as the proxy complainant, file the Lokayukta forms, and take this up officially so I can remain safely anonymous?

I am also trying to build public pressure through a Twitter thread here and have also tagged you:

(If anyone reading this can Retweet it, please help me out).

Please let me know your email so I can loop you in with all documents and authorities replies as I tried to loop you in using info@broseph.in this email available on the website. My email : 0bangaloreboy@proton.me

Thank you for everything you do for Bengaluru.

TL;DR: I spent 5 months fighting a corrupt liquor mafia that is illegally running a sit-down bar with a CL-2 takeaway license, serving loose liquor, and causing daily public nuisance. I finally forced the govt to seal their illegal backroom. The owner just broke the seal and reopened, and the local police/excise are protecting him. The Lokayukta won't act unless I reveal my identity to proceed, which will get me targeted. I am pleading with u/StBroseph to take my evidence and act as a proxy complainant to finish this fight.

Posting on behalf of the family of a construction worker (who also works as the caretaker for the building I rent in Bangalore). Seeking urgent advice on how to legally proceed against the builder.

Incident & Medical Status:

Date of Incident: Monday, August 3, 2026

Details: The worker suffered a 4th-floor fall while on the job. I'm kinda sure he wasn't provided any safety gears.

Injuries: Severe head trauma (fractured skull requiring emergency brain surgery, followed by facial reconstruction) and 10–12 broken ribs.

Current Status: Critical condition, currently admitted in the ICU of a private multi-specialty hospital.

Builder's Current Actions:

The builder paid for the emergency brain surgery and paid for the facial reconstruction surgery after significant initial pushback.

They are now refusing to cover any further ICU or medical costs.

They are actively pressuring the victim’s family to sign release papers, discharge him from the hospital, and take him to his hometown (offering to cover only basic ambulance charges and food).

The Dilemma:

The family cannot afford the mounting ICU bills on their own. I advised them not to sign any documents and threaten legal action against the builder, but the family is terrified that pushing back legally will cause the builder to completely abandon them before any legal resolution occurs.

Questions for the Community:

1. What immediate remedies are available to force the builder/contractor to pay the ongoing hospital bills?
2. Should an FIR or police complaint be filed immediately, or could that trigger retaliatory delays from the builder regarding hospital payments?
3. How can the family protect themselves against signing away their rights under pressure from the builder?

Any legal advice, steps for immediate intervention, or local Bangalore resources/contacts would be immensely appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from people who have experience with hit-and-run/traffic accident cases in Bangalore, especially anyone familiar with the police/traffic police process.
Today, my car was hit by a mini truck on Balagere–Varthur Road near Sobha Dream Acres.
The truck hit my car and initially continued driving instead of stopping. I followed it and asked the driver to stop and exchange details. He had seen the damage but tried to flee. While I was following him, he also swerved the truck in a way that made me feel he was trying to intimidate me / potentially hit my car again. Eventually, he fled the scene.
Fortunately, I have quite strong evidence:
• Full dashcam footage of the incident
• The truck’s registration number
• A photo of the driver
• Photos of the damage to my car
• The approximate location and time of the incident
I first went to Varthur Police Station, where I explained everything and showed the evidence. They directed me to Whitefield Traffic Police Station.
At Whitefield Traffic Police Station, the officer told me that filing an FIR would take a long time. Instead, he suggested that I submit a written complaint stating that I don’t want an FIR but want action/penalty against the truck.
I have currently drafted a letter asking them to identify the vehicle/driver, take action under the applicable MV Act provisions, and inform me about the action taken.
I have not yet knowingly signed away any rights or stated that the incident didn’t happen.

My question is, I’ve understood that I won’t get any compensation for the damage even though it is pretty huge. What else can I do? I do not want to get into the circle of going to court and getting nothing out of it.

Has anyone dealt with a similar accident? What was your experience? What else can I do so that atleast something can come out of it and that bad driver is penalised.
Please help.

My iPhone was stolen on a bus, and I'm feeling completely helpless right now.

We have already filed a complaint through the Karnataka Police (KSP) app and blocked the SIM card. The phone is almost brand new, and the EMI has just started. It was bought with hard-earned money, which makes this even more painful.

I still have the last location from Find My iPhone. The location showed the phone near an electronics shop, but when we informed the police, they said they couldn't take action because the location was already about 18 hours old. They asked us to keep monitoring the app and inform them if a new location appears.

Has anyone here successfully recovered a stolen iPhone using Find My or any other method? Is there anything else I should do to improve the chances of recovery? Any advice, tips, or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

My bf of 6 years(ever since college) whom I've caught cheating multiple times(online) is using my old clothed photos, morphing them and exchanging them online with random people.
